So I’ve come up with a taco recipe. Tacos, first off, are not necessarily a main course. They are traditionally, and still are, served as entreés or snacks; however, just as someone might go nuts with some buffalo wings, they can easily make up the entirety of a meal.

In a small frying pan, sauté 1/2 an onion in olive oil over medium heat for roughly 5 minutes or until just tender. Sprinkle with garlic powder to taste and let cook for about 2 more minutes and then transfer to a covered bowl to keep warm.

While the onions are cooking, butterfly and dice 1 chicken breast to bite size pieces.

In the same pan (do not clean or drain it), cook the chicken in a couple tablespoons of lemon juice over medium/medium high heat. After about 3 minuts add, and mostly to taste, the following: a few spurts of red vinegar, tabasco, worcestershire sauce, Dragon sauce and sprinkle with garlic powder. As for the “Dragon sauce,” I have no idea where it came from as I just found it while sifting through the cabinet, but it smells and tastes similar to soy sauce—which you can use as a substitute. Let cook for another 2 minutes. Combine the onions and the chicken in the pan and continue to cook until the chicken is firm and is white and nearly dry in the center. Remove from heat, cover and let stand. You should end up with a brown mix of chicken and onions hence the “dirty.”
In another pan, fry corn tortillas in corn oil to preference; I like them best just slightly crunchy. Fill the tortillas with chicken, onions, and drizzle sauce from the pan over each. Optionally garnish with a little cheese (careful not to overpower everything eles) or cilantro. Makes about 7-8 tacos. This can also be served as tacquitos or fluatas.
